Striking me...
Where are you going, storm?
Leaving my heart in chaos...
Are your eyes swimming like Nemo?
Are your two cheeks soft like momos?
Girl, is your heart...
A Pokémon? Shall I search for it?
A project of love
Kicks off today...
All the hormones of desire
Take off today...
You are infinite beauty,
You are my timeline,
We are a team from now on...
Across our entire lifeline,
There is no deadline!
A project of love
Oh, kicks off...
All the hormones of desire
Take off today...
Are your eyes swimming like Nemo?
Are your two cheeks soft like momos?
Girl, is your heart...
A Pokémon? Shall I search for it?
Am I like a flower bud?
Aaaah...
Are you like the first drizzle?
Aaaah...
I fall like a raindrop,
I trickle down your lips,
You smile, and I melt because of you...
I wear a brand-new fragrance,
Even colors speak like musical notes,
Love wafts through the air...
Even thorns, in a kiss,
Drown away because of you...
Chorus: Because of you... because of you...
From now on, my love... oh...
Are we flowing together like water?
Are your eyes swimming...
Male: Nemo?
Chorus: Are both cheeks...
Male: Momos?
Chorus: Girl, is your...
Male: Heart...
Chorus: A Pokémon?
Are your eyes swimming like Nemo?
Are your two cheeks soft like momos?

A project of love
Kicks off today...
Female: Oh oh oho...
All the hormones of desire
Take off today... hey!
Oh, you are infinite beauty,
You are my timeline...
We are a team from now on...
Across our entire lifeline,
There is no deadline...
A project of love...

The protagonist compares his lover's features to modern references—her eyes swimming like Nemo, her soft cheeks like momos, and her elusive heart to a Pokemon he needs to hunt down and capture.
